The lights flickered and the cameras switched off as the electricity currents were blocked. After a few more seconds, the lights went off.

A black shape appeared in front of the Master behind the glass. The shape split into two and one light turned on, above a metal chair.

Kitia stood on the other side of the glass with a woman the Master didn't recognize.

Kitia wasn't wearing her hero costume; nor was she wearing the same set of clothes she had worn near Kyushu. She wore a large, long, black cloak with a deep hood. Her boots were ankle length and the same black as her cloak. The clothes under her cloak were sewn into the cloak itself, curtesy of Boss.

Kitia stepped forward, behind the metal chair that was bolted to the floor. The dark haired woman, wearing a brown singlet, tight black pants and brown boots halfway to her knees, stood facing the glass, fists pressed together in front of her.

The woman seemed excited and ready for something to happen, but she stayed silent, with a smirk on her face.

"What do we have here?" The Master finally rasped through the mask on his face. "A surprise visitor?"

Kitia gave a small smile, not that he could see it.

"Are you going to speak, or are we going to sit here staring at each other all day, Kitia?"

Kitia wasn't surprised he knew it was her. She had come to believe that her Master knew everything.

She lowered her hood. Her Master smiled. "You've grown. Matured more, I see."

"You don't seem surprised that I managed to get in here, Master."

He chuckled. "Of course not. I have faith in your abilities."

Kitia's blank expression didn't waver. "So, you knew I'd develop more quirks..."

The Master sighed. "If you're here to-"

Kitia held up her gloved hand. "I'm not here for small talk. I'm here for answers."

The Master studied her for a moment. "Yes. So I can see. You are stronger now. It was only a year ago that you wouldn't even think to speak to me this way. I wonder what has happened to make you think you can now? Is it, perhaps, because I am locked in this room, behind a thick glass wall?"

Kitia lowered her hand and disappeared. The Master couldn't see where she had gone. The woman narrowed her eyes and grinned.

The Master turned his head to see Kitia standing on his side of the glass, facing the woman.

"No. It's not because of that." She turned and faced her Master. "It's because I finally realized something. All this time you spent raising my brother and I, I was always his protector. I was his bodyguard. I got to thinking, why is that? When I'm so much stronger than he is? Why wasn't I the one who you trained to be your successor, instead of him?"

Kitia watched her Master as she spoke. When he didn't react, she turned back to the glass wall.

"I think I finally figured it out. It's not that you wouldn't train me; it's that you couldn't. Somehow you knew I would become as strong as I am, and possibly become stronger. You couldn't train me because you were afraid I would challenge you. Possibly kill you. By all rights, I'm on par with you just as I am now."

Kitia disappeared again, reappearing on the other side and sat on the chair.

"I want to know why. Why am I like this? How am I like this?" She hesitated for the first time since they arrived. "What am I?"

The Master was silent for a moment, then nodded towards the woman. "I think introductions are in order, don't you?"

Kitia narrowed her eyes. "Dox, this is my Master, All For One. Master, this is Dox. There, introduction made. Now answer the question."

The Master grinned. "Are you sure you want your friend to hear what I have to say?"

Kitia shifted her eyes to Dox. Dox's grinning face never left the Master's.

"Oh, I'm a loyal servant to my Boss, who just happens to be a loyal colleague to Kitia. She has nothing to fear from me."

Kitia turned back to the Master. "Whatever you say here today will be shared with my associates. Unlike you and Tomura, I will not keep secrets from them." Her mind wandered briefly to the tiny life inside her. That aside, of course. "I will not be like you, or him. I will not push them away."

He chuckled. "I see you've made friends."

"Stop playing games. Start talking, or-"

Kitia held her hand up. "It's alright, Dox. We have time, don't we?"

Dox growled. "We may have time for a coffee break..."

"You have a strong standing with them, huh? Alright. No more games." The Master nodded. "You want to know what you are?"

Kitia nodded.

"Very well. You are correct in your assumptions about your power. You are strong now, and will continue to grow stronger. How strong, this I do not know. You are, indeed, on par with myself. Also with the top ranking so-called heroes of this world. You could easily defeat any of these heroes, including All Might himself. The League of Villains, the Hassaikai and any other organization could fall to you. So, why did I choose Tomura instead of you?"

Kitia kept her eyes on her Master. She wasn't about to interrupt him now. She wanted answers.

"I chose him simply because you don't need my quirks, or my power. You have your own. And, it seems, you are doing well honing them. You want to know what you are? Or do you want to know who you are?"

Kitia frowned. "What are talking about? I know who I am."

The Master grinned. "Oh. Do you now?"

Kitia raised an eyebrow. "I'm Kitia Shigaraki. My brother is Tomura Shigaraki. Our parents abused me until Tomura killed them. We ended up on the streets until you found us. You raised us and trained us. I started at UA to gather information and quirks. You stopped that mission and-"

"And told you to start using all your quirks. Why, you ask, knowing that the repercussions could be severe? Why do you think I told you to do that? What would I possibly have to gain by allowing you to become stronger?"

Kitia narrowed her eyes.

"You couldn't hurt Tomura, even if you tried. He is your brother, through and through. But why is it that he doesn't have the same reservations as you?"

Kitia thought back to the times Tomura had threatened her and tried to us his quirk on her, even though it didn't work.

"Why is it that he treats you as a lackey, and calls you his sister in name only? Why do you think he only calls on you when it benefits him?"

Kitia didn't like where this conversation was heading.

"No one would treat their real family like that, now would they?"

"Real family?"

The Master gave a sly smile. "You didn't really think Tomura was your biological brother, did you?"

Kitia widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?"

The Master didn't reply straight away. He just sat there in his chair, covered in wires and tubes, in a straight jacket. He grinned.

"What are you talking about? Answer me!"

"You were never Tomura's sister."

The information fell like a clap of thunder in her ears.

"You see, you don't really remember your childhood, do you? You only took what I told you as the truth." He shook his head. "Tomura is indeed older than you, and I did find him on the streets. However. I did not find you. I made you."

"M-made me?" Kitia barely managed to ask the question.

"Yes. While other people were breeding to make stronger quirks, I was creating my own. Using a combination of my blood and some other odds and ends; scientific jargon."

Kitia could imagine he'd be waving his hand if he could.

"I put together a child of my own." He nodded in her direction.

"I..I'm like a Frankenstein monster?"

The Master chuckled. "Not at all. You were incubated for 10 months and born. More or less. No, Kitia. You were created." He chuckled again. "It seems I do get to say that infamous line. I am your father."

Kitia dropped her head. She was created? Tomura wasn't her brother?

Suddenly, she frowned and looked up. "I'm like a Nomu, aren't I?"

He grinned. "Very good. You're the most perfect one I ever created. Incubated, born and raised. Just like a normal child, but different. Those runes were put there for you to control your quirks, but only as a child. Your quirks manifested way to quickly, and so much stronger than I anticipated. Now that you're older, stronger, you will have more control over your quirks, and you won't need those runes anymore. I see you have questions."

Kitia narrowed her eyes. "Are there anymore like me?"

The Master shook his head. "No. I was never able to create anything even close to you, and none of the other Nomu can even compare." His voice sounded sad as he said that.

"Why did you hide it from me? Why wouldn't you just tell me what I was? Why did you bother going to all the trouble of putting in my head that I was normal? That I was human?!" Kitia's voice rose with each word she spoke. She slowly started to stand up from her chair. She felt Dox's presence beside her.

Dox was still staring at All For One, not smiling anymore. She was now mad at him, but she could do nothing. She had to keep her fists together and concentrate on blocking the electric currents.

"Why? That's simple. You are a perfect Nomu. I wanted to see if you could pass as, as you say, 'human'. And you did. You accepted and adapted quickly to everything that was done and said to you, and you became stronger for it."

"You brainwashed me to hate All Might."

"Ah, yes. Actually, that was Tomura's doing. He was afraid that you would start to admire All Might, despite your origins."

Kitia had her fists clenched by her sides, eyes closed and shaking. How could she not know what she was this entire time? Her whole life?

She slowly opened her fists and her eyes.

"Tell me, All For One..."

"Hm?"

"Am I a complete human? Do I have all the physical aspects of a human?"

"Of course. You needed to be able to fit in completely and utterly. I couldn't very well have doctors discovering what you are, after all."

"I see." Kitia lifted the hood over her head. She wanted to ask why she was created in the first place. Did Kurogiri know what she was? Did Gigantomachia? These questions would bug her, but for the time being, she couldn't handle anymore hidden surprises. She turned to Dox.

"Let's go. I've heard enough."

Dox nodded and shifted closer to Kitia, not taking her eyes off All For One.

"Yes. Let's discuss this further elsewhere. Quite frankly, I had become tired of being cooped up here."

"Never once did I mention I was here to break you out." Kitia replied bluntly. She turned her back on All For One. "It seems this would be good for you. Stay in here and think about what you have done. Perhaps one day they'll let you out. If they do..." She glanced over her shoulder. "You better hope I'm in a good mood."

With that, Kitia slipped her arm through Dox's, who was grinning again, and disappeared.

All For One sat there, seething. He hadn't intended to create something with that much unbridled will power. This could be potentially problematic, now that his creation had seemingly broken away from Tomura's influence, and created her own little group.

He was still seething and thinking about this, when the lights flickered again and the cameras came back on.
